a-JAYS One+ and Four headphones hands-on

Certainly, we all have the option to blast some of our favorite tunes from our smartphones, but for those who prefer a more personal experience, the only route to go is to put on a pair of stereo headphones. In our last experience with one, the Velodyne vPulse In-Ear Headphones, we were utterly blown away by the punchy tones that its tiny ear buds are able to produce – though, its hefty $89 cost might seem too rich for most people. Hoping to achieve the same high quality level, while being a bit lower in cost, Sweden based audio accessory make a-JAYS has a couple of offering that might attract audiophiles.

Scoping out the a-JAYS One+ and a-JAYS Four headphones, which are priced respectively at $59.99 and $69.99, they both have a sprinkling of premium attached to them. Naturally, we get into the specifics below in how they differentiate from one another, but above all, they have a stylized look that no doubt come off as something different from the typical Apple branded headphones we’d normally see people using on a subway ride. Are you looking to some respectable headphones that won’t break the bank too much for you? Well, these a-JAYS headphones might be it.

First and foremost, let’s talk about what these two headphones have in common. Right away, they’re tangle-free headphones that unfurl very easily – even if you somehow manage to roll them up into a ball. Secondly, they both feature an 8.6mm driver, noise cancelling microphone, and a silver-plated 3.5mm headset plug. In terms of design, they’re similar to one another too, as they sport clean finishes thanks to their rubber like feel and comfortable ear buds. As a whole though, they don’t particularly offer a fresh design over other previous headphones we’ve checked out.

Taking a look at the a-JAYS One+ headphones first, which sports the lower price between the two, it features a one button remote setup. With the single and tactile button, we’re able to pause/play, pickup/hang up calls, reverse/forward tracks, and access a specific smartphone’s voice recognition service (like Apple’s Siri).

In terms of audio quality with the a-JAYS One+, it’s actually pretty decent, but lacks enough oomph with its output to really captivate our attention. In fact, its frequency response is between 20Hz-18kHz. Luckily, there’s no evidence of crackling or strain when testing them out at the loudest volume setting.

Conversely, the a-JAYS Four headphones simply replaces the single button remote setup in favor for a three-button one instead. With the addition of the two buttons, we’re able to adjust volume appropriately. Furthermore, its frequency response is between 20Hz-21kHz.

Listening to the same tunes, we’re able to distinguish that the a-JAYS Four’s audio quality is modestly improved over the a-JAYS One+ headphones. Specifically, it packs more substance with its overall output – putting in some power behind its bass tones. Oh yeah, did we mention there’s also a free JAYS Headphones app for iOS and Android that provides for some customization in what actions are taken when each button is pressed?
